Is there any point to online play? (PC) There's not a lot to do and I can't even tame horses, matchmaking stuff barely scrapes past the limit and I haven't been able to do any of the weird supernatural event, it's always just me and another guy waiting in a lobby that never fills.

the fun is where you find it really online.
the stories are not that flash but the trades are a good source of gold and cash and arent as grindy as their gtao equivalents.

there are still random strangers needing help/trying to trap you. barking dogs to follow. a shitload of treasure maps. if you want more RDR after the story its a change but its good.

its still a bit shaky and probably always will be to an extent. disconnects are the most common hassle.

I hate how the game gives you instruction to loot everything and everyone during the "tutorial", but then after every mission your gang whines about getting away ASAP and keep pressuring you to leave the place

no guys, I don't care, we killed a couple dozens of people and I have to steal the valuables off their cold, dead corpses - and if the cops arrive we'll kill them and loot them too.

I haven't had random people come and try to loot my kills yet, but yea I guess that would infuriate me too :v:


I actually just did the mission in chapter 2 where you follow Kiernan to the O'Driscoll's camp and get introduced to stealth gameplay and shortly after the massacre while I was lazily looting corpses, I was alerted that the friggin law was on the way... naturally I skedaddled cause I would've been in biiiig trouble.

This makes me nervous about sticking around after future missions and whatnot to loot the battlefield, was this scripted to happen or can this actually happen with any sort of frequency?

I honestly have no idea. It seems in some missions, despite your buddies telling you to hurry up and acting all scared, nothing will happen and you can gleefully loot the dozens of corpses, taking half an ingame day, and no one will show up

in others, after about 2 minutes from the final cutscene/mission end, the law will start investigating

I *think* it has to do with who you're killing: if they're a gang of hidden outlaws where no one would logically know where they even were, nothing will happen, while if you're killing "honest" citizens in their not-secret ranch with dynamite, stands to reason that someone would hear and send lawmen to investigate... but again, that's just my feeling, I have no source on this

Quick question about stirrups: when I go to the stables, there's a list of new stirrups I can buy but none of them show any stat increases. Aren't they meant to effect horsey stats?

They are, and they do, just you won't see the effects while buying them (for no discernible reason). You will see the effects when you equip them, it's either 0/+1/+2 to stamina and acceleration, and up to -50% stamina core drain. Obviously the more expensive ones are better, here's a link to a wiki page with details so you don't have to buy them ingame to see the effects and waste your money.

Cause trouble and have fun. The game is infinitely more fun with buddies.

The problem you're likely experiencing is that the default state for all users on PC is the auto-assist lobbies and not the free aim, even if you aren't using a controller. It's really lovely but all you can do is spread the word to people using KBM to adjust their settings.

I thought Freckles was blocked by the language filter for whatever reason. Maybe that was only on console, or the filter was tweaked at some point after the initial launch.

Go to Settings > Controls > Controller when you're not logged into online and there is an option to change from Aim Assist to Free Aim. Even if you are using KBM this is how you change what kind of lobbies you get. A lot of Free Aim lobbies are supposedly empty because folks aren't aware of this.


Also: Agarita only appears at night.

Defaults on PC will set controller to "normal mode", which means you can use a controller and lock-on to people/NPCs . This means if you're playing PVP with KB+M you're playing as a sucker because you have manual aim and everyone with a controller has aimbot on a button.

If you set your Controller settings to "Free Aim", you'll only get matched with other free-aimers.

I'm 90% sure you can just hit Space and it will show you the actual stats it would apply. At least last time I upgraded stirrups I could see the core drain rate stats for it and such.

Xbox hueg Game Bar doesn't seem to do anything one way or another for me. :shrug: Latest patch has reintroduced rare-but-getting-less-so freezing and even an actual CTD when looting Xavier's school. Man-Made Mutant house

Are people gonna get bitchy if I hop a freight train to shoot birdies? I *am* getting better at going Deadeye/snapfiring sparrows and such, but think the game should have a .22 pistol for birding, or maybe a Marble's Game-Getter kind of thing. Shoulder-stocked S&W Model 3 would be nice...

(Actually, keep all (or nearly all) of the RDR2 gameplay, add in the gear/clothing/weapon modding of Fallout, singleplayer only. Let me have my dual Merwin Hulbert Pocket Armys in nickle with cobalt-blued screws and assorted parts. :clint:)

Bounty update: Lindsey "Lemoyne Raiders" Wofford took the "dead" option of "dead or alive" by dodging into a group of assholes I was targeting in Deadeye. Oh well.

Horsie update: how the hell is Roach, my bigass warhorse, winning all these rando races? Just because he's dumb (IE, default horse) and will just keep charging when I put the hammer down? I expected I'd need one of the prettier/twitchier thoroughbred types for racing. He even outran the wolf attack that popped during the race. :getout:

Public Service update: another Klan meeting, this time it was twin custom Schofields and a full load of gold Deadeye - only one burned, the rest made restitution (were looted).

Guess I need to watch for random posters now, too - got a small-game hunt, and a missing Princess - not sure whether they need the whole Princess or just a perfect skin...

I'm mainly thinking of railroad employees taking shots at me. I know the other day I started poo poo in St Denis and when leaving under hot pursuit, some dickweed in the caboose of a nearby train started shooting as well. Also hope the kid I helped escape from the cops (which caused the pursuit) isn't one of the punks that tried to rob me (which caused a different pursuit after they all got shot).

There's an achievement to own five horses simultaneously, and I think it gives you a belt buckle too. There's an option in the Player Menu under Stables where you can dictate what horse is used for what kind of events (races, takedowns, etc.) if you want to try and maximize that use.

Varies widely by configuration i think. I've personally had little issues in 60 hrs, maybe 1 crash and 1 online disconnect, but I've mostly played Online. A friend had the stuttering issue but that seems resolved now.

I think they’ve fixed the “everyone with an i5 has stuttering problem” finally, which was the big one. It took about 3 patches.

Also very early on some people with a particular ryzen motherboard had to update their BIOS, which I don’t think I’ve heard of a BIOS update specifically for one game before.

This game has better roleplayers than actual RPGs. I've joined several random posses where everyone was spontaneously roleplaying while we guarded wagons and went hunting and it was a blast.

One thing I don't understand is if there is a reward incentive to help strangers with their trade roles. A lot of leaders will keep taking bounties or wagon missions. Does everyone advance from that or only the host?
